Stolen

The future looks bright for Boston couple John Bodine and Ruby Dawes. John's online gaming business is growing, and they're talking about starting a family. But when Ruby receives a life-changing diagnosis, and their cut-rate insurance won't cover the treatment she desperately needs, John makes a risky move. He steals a customer's identity and files a false claim for Ruby's medication.The plan works perfectly-- until the customer in question contacts John with a startling proposition. If John and Ruby play a little game he's devised, he won't report their fraud. John and Ruby can't disappear-- and they can't go to the police. Their only option is to keep playing, while trying to outwit a psychopath who has no intention of letting them leave this game alive.

When John Bodine steals a customer's identity to pay for his wife's cancer treatment, his plan works perfectly until the customer in question contacts him and demands that he play a life-or-death game called Criminal, in which he must commit real crimes to stay alive.
